POP3 IMAP E-mail Accounts

If you use an email account with your own personal domain and not a third-party one, you’ll be able to use an email software application such as Thunderbird, Apple Mail or Outlook to access and administer your email messages. The benefit of using such applications is that you can also take advantage of other features, such as calendars and address books. There are two email retrieval protocols that you can choose from when you configure the app of your choice to access your mailbox – POP3 and IMAP. With the first protocol, all messages that are received will be downloaded on your device – mobile or desktop, unless you choose to save a copy on the email server. With the second protocol, the messages will be displayed locally at your end, but they will remain on the server at all times, so you can set up the account on numerous devices and check the email messages from any location. You’ll also be able to see old emails in case there’s an issue with your Internet connection, which is a huge advantage over web-based services.

Each cloud web hosting package that we offer will allow you to create email accounts with any domain hosted in your account and to set them up on any device. During the setup process, you can pick between the IMAP and the POP3 email retrieval protocols, as we offer support for both, so you can choose which one to use according to your preferences and the purpose of the email account – you may want to download all emails if you have a personal account and to save the emails on the server – if you’ve got a business account, for example. The Email Manager tool, which is part of our custom-built Hepsia Control Panel, enables you to download and run a small-sized auto-configuration file, so as to set up a mailbox with an email software app – Outlook, Thunderbird or Apple Mail. You can use even your phone to get your email messages and we’ve included a comprehensive tutorial on how to perform this on an iPhone or an Android phone.

Our semi-dedicated servers give you full autonomy in regard to where and how you can use any mailbox that you create through our Hepsia hosting Control Panel. Since we support both POP3 and IMAP, you’ll be able to create an email account on any desktop or mobile device irrespective of the Operating System in use – a desktop PC, a laptop or a mobile phone. You can download even our auto-config files for Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird and have a brand new mailbox automatically set up with your preferred program. You’ll not have to do anything manually. Our comprehensive tutorials with step-by-step screenshots will demonstrate to you how to set up a mailbox on an iPhone or an Android mobile phone. With all these devices, you can choose whether the email messages should be downloaded or if they should remain on the server. If you opt for the latter option, you’ll be able to examine your messages from different locations.

With our VPS server plans, you’ll be able to create an unlimited number of email accounts and to use them with any email app on any device, as the VPSs come with a pre-installed email server that offers support for both email delivery protocols – IMAP and POP3. This is valid with all Virtual Private Server plans irrespective of which Control Panel you’ll choose during the signup process. With cPanel and Hepsia, you’ll even be able to download auto-config files, which will help you configure your email accounts in Apple Mail, Outlook or Thunderbird without needing to enter or change any system info or any settings manually. You can make use of any other email client to receive and send email messages as well. You can even use your smartphone to view your e-correspondence when you’re travelling.
